Facter 1.5.5 is available.

This is primarily a maintenance release and will be (probably) the last
of the 1.5.x branch releases.  The next release will be 1.6.0 and
include a variety of substantial changes to Facter.

Most of the 1.5.5 fixes are thanks to Paul Nasrat, who did an
exceptional job closing tickets and fixing issues.

or the Gem at:

These are also available on the Redmine site and via Rubyforge.
